Q: Can not get to General Menu on Apple TV

I have the Apple TV connected to the TV.  It first is setting the date and time, then goes to my icloud shared pictures and shows the slide show.  I press the Menu button on the remote to set the wireless connection.  The remote 'blinks' the Apple TV but thats all it does.  I can not get it to go to the General Menu to connect to the internet.

Even if the Apple TV is not connected to the internet, shouldn't the remote still allow me to see the General Menu settings?

I figured it out,  I had to 'unpair', then re-pair the remote.

Thanks
